Cenacle versus Prayer Meeting
The underlying theme of the Cenacle is to be spiritually docile in the Spirit so that Our Lady may form us to be in her cohort. The focus shifts from bringing petitions as in a prayer meeting to being quiet to be formed.

By participating in this gathering and by means of our consecration, we enter the cenacle of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is not what we say or do that is important, but the measure in which we allow Mary to touch us.

It is a sacred time as had the apostles in the Upper Room awaiting the First Pentecost. Here, Our Lady nourishes, forms, and helps us grow in perfect consecration to her to bring about an interior conversion “that will free us of every attachment to ourselves and to easy compromises with the world so that we may be available only to do always the will of the Father.”

Our Cenacle Format – Purity of the Movement Matters
The Blessed Mother requests that the cenacles remain pure in spirit; therefore, we must respect their structure.

The DMFA Cenacle will adhere to these as follows:

1.     Invocation to the Holy Spirit

2.     Zoom to an Adoration Chapel

3.     Recitation of five decades of the Holy Rosary, including a few short prayers after each decade

4.     Prayers for the Holy Father, the Pope

5.     Reading one or more messages from the Blue Book

6.     Quiet, personal meditation on the chosen message*

7.     Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

8.     Exit Adoration Chapel

9.     Brief time for comments pertaining to the message

10.  Announcements and organizational discussion

* Meditation Time – Please note
After the message is read, we will spend some minutes quietly meditating on what Our Lady is saying to us personally. We are encouraged not to reflect on the message's prophetic nature but rather on its spiritual nature and its importance and meaning in our lives.

Some questions to consider during this time:

What does Our Lady say in this message to help me grow in my life of consecration to her?

What changes are still needed in my life to live the consecration more perfectly?

Keeping it Pure
The MMP stresses that during the cenacle, we must never digress into discussing other topics, apparitions, messages, or devotions that could impede Our Lady’s work in the souls of the cenacle members. We are strongly encouraged not to detract from or add to the format that the MMP has outlined.

Participation
The guidelines state that an atmosphere of simplicity always renders the gathering more fruitful and allows Our Lady to achieve her specific goal for her cenacles. Therefore, prayer leaders will be pre-determined to enable members to enter the cenacle of the Immaculate Heart of Mary quickly and prayerfully.

The cenacle will be recorded and available on the Divine Mercy for America YouTube and Rumble channels after 10:00 pm EDT.
